Book Review - Top 100 Pasta Dishes

Atria, Hardcover, 144 pages, Isbn-1451607911
Who doesn't love pasta? For most kids—and their parents—pasta is the best food in the world. It's tasty and nutritious, it's easy, quick, and economical to cook—and, even better, it comes in lots of fun shapes! Here is Annabel's ultimate collection of one hundred pasta dishes, with a section for babies (it's a good way to introduce texture) and toddlers (it's great for fussy eaters), plus a huge variety of quick and easy recipes that older children will enjoy and that will become family favorites!

Filled with color photos, simple instructions, and clear notes on cooking and preparation times, plus symbols throughout to show which recipes are suitable for babies and younger children, and which recipes are suitable for freezing, this is the ultimate pasta cookbook for families everywhere. With Annabel's help, dinnertime can finally be fuss free!

I'm a vegetarian and I was pleasantly surprised to find this category included among all the other meat-friendly pasta dishes in this book. The veggie choices, though fewer than the meat ones, are creative and sometimes include veggies that I normally wouldn't use in pasta dishes (example, leek!). I tried out the "Vegetable Fusilli" recipe and my kids not only ate it all but asked for second helpings. This is HUGE as my kids rarely if ever ask for seconds!

This is a nice book, small enough to be held conveniently in one hand while stirring with the other, and with such beautiful font and photographs and glossy pages (which can be wiped easily!) as to inspire even the tiredest of Moms :-)
